Abstract | Structural parameters and the total MV magnitude are important properties for the characterisation of individual globular clusters. With the growth in statistics, especially of the intrinsically faint objects, the collective properties of the Galactic globular cluster system will be better defined, leading to a deeper understanding of the Galaxy formation processes (..) The structural parameters and luminosity of most of the faint globular clusters dealt with in this paper are consistent with those of Palomar-like (low mass and loose structure) globular clusters. This work helps to improve the coverage of the globular cluster parameter space. |
